This Happy Breed / Kids Love Lies / At The Zoo

kids love liesThis Happy Breed – ‘Pavement strangling Richard hell’
Alt rock band with cross sworded vocals, energy charged tales of England. Riding high after recent stints at the 02 academy & Barfly, recently supporting NME tips for 2009 ‘Baddies’

Kids Love Lies are a London pop punk band. Times Online said “they’re already delivering fine power pop that’s packed full of clever lyrics and hooks – they’re surely ones to watch….

This strop pop palpitation is a sub three minute rush of Pretty Girls Make Graves style post hardcore sweetness!
Firecracker singer Ellen Murphy sounds pretty much like Kate Nash would if she dropped the prim and proper act and thrashed herself into a full on Kathleen Hanna hissy fit!

The band’s second single, Under The Bed, was released on 12 October 2009, also on Cherryade, with a video that pays homage to 80s B movies and David Lynch films. It was track of the day on The Times online on 4 November 2008, previous to its release and a Pick of the Month for Who’s Jack Magazine in April 2009. Altsounds said it is “brimming with a cacophony of relentless, frenetic guitars, an energetic bassline and crashing percussion, all topped off by Ellen Murphy’s Karen O-esque vocals.” It was single of the month in October 2009′s Artrocker Magazine, and record of the week on the BBC Kent Introducing show.

At The Zoo are a four piece indie/ska/punk band from Tamworth, England. With an ever evolving sound and a no fear attitude to song writing they now have a groove of their very own. Rudeboys for a new generation bringing a sense of urgency back to a lackluster scene.

Now gigging for three years, At The Zoo are a formidable live band, with a competitive edge to go with it. Their razor sharp sound and toe tapping tunes have seen them impress all who have crossed their path, inevitably causing their popularity to rise and rise across the midlands. Their shows are notoriously euphoric with dancing, singing and the odd stage invasion guaranteed to unfold as the boys refuse to let up the pace.
